Great place for afternoon beer or dates After walking on the High Lines (please do it) this was the perfect place for cold beer and enjoy a break on late afternoon. You get a beer token in the happy hour. Very nice and WiFi for those who need it.

The Cheers of Chelsea... A nice neighborhood bar with many regulars and enough sports team meetings and new traffic to keep things fresh. Very active happy hour, and busy on Fridays and Saturday evenings as well as Sunday "tea". Drink specials nearly every night.

Pretty good atmosphere. Smoking Lounge The drinks were moderately priced, and the crowd was pretty friendly. They have a smoking patio which I definitely appreciated, and which is why I am giving 4 stars instead of 3.

Myslant I don’t recommend this place. The Bar’s management opposes any display of affectionate behavior among the patrons. To wit, my buddy was asked by the management to stop giving me a foot rub (the sneakers were off but the socks remained on). It should be noted that this is not an upscale establishment where more discreet conduct would be expected. It is, rather, a no-frills, casual attire, smallish neighborhood gay bar. So, after we finished our drinks and were on our way out of the bar, I stopped before the exit and confronted the apparently not-so-intelligent, middle aged, heavy set, Irish looking door person who followed up on the request made to my buddy by a bar hand. I told him that he has a bad attitude. His response was that “this is a sports bar.” Presumably, his concept of a sports bar is one that should be patronized only by heterosexual males whose sole purpose is to watch and discuss sports. I told him how incredibly ridiculous and out-of-touch with reality his comment was, that my buddy’s and my behavior was benign compared to other acts of affection commonly engaged in by patrons in gay bars, that his bad attitude does not make business sense (not only losing my business but that of friends who would meet me there) and that we will never patronize that bar again.

True Sports Bar True sports bar for the gay man - lots of TVs showing various games, a wide variety of men, into sports, who play sports (and look it) or just like the casual down to earth atmosphere. No attitude men and friendly people. I had a great time here and met some new people that I continued seeing for the rest of my trip.

well it's a bar.... if yer a sports fan and ya wanna see sports, go to a sports bar. if ya wanna see gym bunnies that try to talk sports while talking about what the quarterback's packin in his jockstrap, this place is for you. not really impressed with the times i've gone. staff are adequate but some have some attitude (ya find this in any bar). maybe for ny this is a sports bar.
off the 'gay' sports bars i've been too, have yet to find one that is true a sports bar. go to a straight sports bar is ya wanna watch a game. go here is just looking for a hookup.

excellent hangout spot This is a great place. The bartenders are friendly, the mix of crowd is excellent. The layout/design of the place is cool. Downstairs is also great when open. My favorite NYC bar. Boxers may have more TVs, but Gym Bar has a better vibe.
